Hi All,

New to the site and this is my 1st of probably many threads.

I'm trying to locate the original engine that came out of my 2/77 XC GXL Fairmont Coupe i recently bought. As some or most of you are aware Ford numbers for chassis and engine are identical up to i think 1989, so given that the engine number im in search for is-
J country code (australia)
G manufacturing plant (broadmeadow)
6 next 2 numbers stand for body style (coupe)
7
T year built (77) and also means factory fitted 351c 4v
U month built (feb)
10283K these remaining numbers i'm told are some sort of I.D. system?

This is my first attempt of many to find it any info or tips would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers!
